The General Staff Has Halted the Offensive in Donbas According to reports, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov has halted the offensive in Donbas because a significant portion of the fuel reserves prepared for the autumn campaign will be sent to Moscow. The Kremlin reportedly made this decision immediately after the strike on the Kapotnya oil refinery. These reserves had been accumulated for the second stage of the operation. Now there is unlikely to be enough fuel even to supply positions and carry out individual attacks. There is no longer enough fuel to move large formations forward. Under this account, Gerasimov’s order marks the end of the offensive campaign and a transition to the defensive. Local assaults will continue so that the General Staff can report advances and color in new areas on its maps. However, capturing Kramatorsk and Sloviansk is impossible with the current level of supplies. Hopes of reaching the borders of the DPR by the end of 2026 have disappeared, and even 2027 now appears out of reach. The situation is reportedly worst in the Kramatorsk–Sloviansk sector. Russian forces have lost the initiative east of Sviatohirsk and were pushed back toward Zherebets, causing the northern encirclement effort around the urban area to stall. Farther south, the army has become bogged down near Kostiantynivka and has still failed to reach the positions from which a full-scale offensive on Kramatorsk could begin. P.S.

I am not sure of the source’s credibility but that is big news if true. Even though VVP lives in a bubble of his own liking he will not be able to ignore this.

Great news if true. It means that the Ukraine war on refineries is working.

I don’t know if anything short of Putin’s death will be enough to stop this war.

I don’t think quitting is an option for Putin either. Putin has too much invested, Ukraine isn’t surrendering, and the US isn’t going to guarantee borders.

Putin’s people lie to him so much that he actually believes Russia is winning. That’s why he thinks he is in position to tell NATO to go back it’s pre 1997 borders. Putin needs to join his communists idols in Hell ASAP.

quote:Sweden, Finland, Norway and others refuse to play Russia in next years World Hockey Championships ESPN
The Swedish hockey federation said its board decided Tuesday that it would not play against Russia but would still play other world championship games. That was a turnaround from last week, after Sweden initially indicated a boycott was off the table after the CAS ruling Friday.
"The Three Crowns will not play Russia in coming world championship tournaments," federation head Anders Larsson said in a statement, using the team's nickname.
The Swedish statement came shortly after Norway announced its boycott.
"Our position is that Russia should be excluded from all international championships as long as the war in Ukraine continues and remains unchanged," the Norwegian Ice Hockey Association said in a statement. "At the same time, this decision is based on our responsibility to protect the safety and wellbeing of our players, team staff and their families. We believe that playing Russia under the current circumstances could expose our players and team staff to significant security risks. Our priority is therefore their mental health, wellbeing and personal safety."

I would take this to mean that fuel is being diverted from Moscow for a new offensive in Donbas.
Russians are incapable of providing accurate information.

I tgink you are mistaken. Keeping the Russian population in St Petersburg and Moscow warm and comfortable is more important to Putin’s regime stability than anything else.

One of biggest Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy sector ongoing, Ukrenergo reports
Andrii Muravskyi — 3 November, 17:05
One of the most massive Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been ongoing since the night of 2-3 November, forcing the implementation of emergency power outages in a number of regions.
Source: Ukrenergo, Ukraine's national energy company
Details: The company noted that the situation in the power grid has been further complicated as a result of today's Russian attacks.
Quote: "Over the past 24 hours alone, the enemy has deliberately attacked energy facilities more than 20 times, using an unprecedented number of weapons, which has led to significant damage to the energy infrastructure."
Details: Emergency power outages are being forcibly applied in a number of Ukrainian regions, including Kyiv, as a result of the attacks.
Quote: "Thousands of power engineers have been working since the very night to deal with the aftermath of the attacks and restore the power supply. Critical infrastructure facilities will be reconnected first."
Details: All services are working in constant coordination to stabilise the situation as quickly as possible. Energy workers are doing everything possible to restore electricity.
Background:
On the morning of 3 November, emergency power outages were applied in the capital and six oblasts of Ukraine due to equipment damage and voltage drops in the high-voltage network.
During the Russian attack overnight and in the morning, energy facilities in 10 oblasts of Ukraine came under fire.
In some oblasts where emergency outages are not in place, scheduled power cuts are being applied on 3 November, leaving some consumers without electricity for over 12 hours. These are the first outages of such volume this autumn.
A special emergency power outage schedule has been implemented in Sumy and Poltava oblasts, without informing consumers how long the outage might last.
As a result of the Russian attacks on Kyiv, major water supply facilities have been left without power, causing interruptions in the water supply.

Mostly elderly people injured in Russian strike on hospital in Kharkiv
Anna Kovalenko — 3 November, 18:45
A total of 73 people, mostly elderly patients, were injured as a result of an overnight strike on a hospital in Kharkiv on 2-3 November. Most of them were diagnosed with an acute stress reaction.
Source: Viktor Zabashta, director of the Kharkiv Oblast Centre for Emergency Medical Care, as reported by Suspilne Kharkiv
Details: According to hospital director Olha Romanenko, two explosions occurred at around 02:30 on 3 November, almost immediately after the air-raid warning was issued. She says that the patients and staff were saved by the fact that they went down to the shelter at the time of the attack.
That night, there were 236 patients and 31 staff members in the affected hospital building, which provides care to over a thousand people with acute myocardial infarction every year.
Viktor Zabashta says that no one suffered severe injuries, although some suffered cuts from glass and secondary projectiles.
Quote: "Of course, they were frightened. These are sick people, mostly very elderly, aged between 67 and 83. They were taken down to the bomb shelter, and then they sat in the admissions department in the cold. We evacuated almost everyone because it was impossible to stay there."
Details: All patients have now been transferred to other hospitals in the city.
According to preliminary data, the Russians used a FAB-250 guided aerial bomb equipped with a UMPC-5R module [universal gliding and correction module – ed.] for the attack.
Law enforcement officers have opened criminal proceedings regarding the war crime.

Russian hosting provider Beget confirms that a cyberattack on November 1-2 compromised its management infrastructure and triggered destructive scripts.
The company says all data in its VPS, S3 and Kubernetes cloud environments was lost, along with IP and CDN configurations, although some file backups survived. Separately, Russian provider Selectel reports a network failure affecting cloud services, servers and databases. No connection between the incidents has been established.

At some point, Ukraine has to bring the war home to Russian civilans.
No, they shouldn't attack schools, hospitals, train stations.
But, Moscow and St Petersburgh power grids have to be on the table.

Wrong approach. There are plenty of key military targets that are better. The current strategy appears to be working. Do not change.

You're both right. Power generation and transmission are legitimate military targets and Ukraine has been hitting these targets over the last couple of years. Crimea is under perpetual black outs now and Belgorod Oblast is almost as bad. The power substations for the rail system, much of which is electrical in Russia, have also been constant targets.
Power stations in St. Petersburg and Moscow have been hit as well, but as pointed out, there are better targets in those areas.

Yeah it’s not as good of a target as hospitals and residential buildings like your boy likes to hit though.

Its been said many times here. Until one or both are no longer in power this war will continue.

WW2 the 8th AF and the RAF made a concentrated effort to blow dams in the Ruhr River Valley. The RAF developed a special bomb that dropped at low altitude would sink and detonate below the surface. They destroyed 2 out of 7 dams and damaged the others.
